I don't think it really matters.
My point is that gamma radiation is hardly clean.
Also it would take a huge amount of energy to get a black hole engine, and then absorbing that energy and keeping the blackhole from eating it's container will be difficult.
Transforming it into useful energy will be difficult indeed, without it obliterating your material as well.
Maybe taking away the heat energy as a result of the obliteration of your materials.
Fusion reactors can maybe do that, so it might be possible.
If you tried to use wood as your heat sink to transfer the heat for instance it would just catch on fire- with these types of radiation and energies you may just get your material burning away instead of boiling water for instance.
There may be some nano material though that can conduct heat like electricity, so with wires and be near instant, making them great for transferring the energy until neutron degradation takes it's tole.
